Change of Perspective (TodoBaku)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Katsuki's POV:

We pass Mr. Aizawa on the bus and I cringe at how awkward it was. He just looks away awkwardly too. I almost laugh and Todoroki just pushes me forward, trying not to laugh either. The people in the front of the bus smile at us. Probably cause they think we're a cute couple. I mean, I think we are. Aren't we?

We sit in the same spot as last time, Kaminari too with Kirishima joining him on the other side. From the window to Kirishima it goes me, Todoroki (so I'm on his left side), Kaminari, and then Kirishima. I have the blanket wrapped around me tightly and Todoroki gets closer to me. I look outside and see how beautiful everything is. It's still white everywhere because of the snow. Todoroki sits up and gasps out of nowhere. I jump up in surprise and look over at him, confused. "I'll be right back," he says quickly and runs off the bus.

Did he forget something? Is it important? It can't be that important can it? He comes back with the things in his hands. Oh, it was that important. He hands me the pint and I thank him and he gives me the spoon too. Everyone looked at him weirdly and Aizawa just looked so done. "Is that all Todoroki?" He asks, sounding like he wants to pass out. Todoroki just nods as he opens up his huge tub of ice cream. Kaminari and Kirishima pout since they didn't get a spoon and Todoroki pulls two more spoons out of his pocket. "Don't drop them, these are the only ones I brought," he says. I smile a bit and start eating the ice cream. I offer some to Kirishima and Kaminari but they just grimace and shake their heads. When I offer some to Todoroki he nods and takes some.

"Thanks babe," he says. I smile at the nickname. I'll never get used to it. When the bus starts I look up and see some of our classmates looking at us. I glare at them. They're not having some of my ice cream. "Back off extras!" I yell at them. They all look away quickly and Todoroki puts a hand on my shoulder. "Chill out," he laughs. I can't help but smile, but it quickly goes away. I eat more of my ice cream and Todoroki steals some now and then. There wasn't a lot to begin with, so it finishes pretty fast.

Then he offers me some of his and when I say no, he hands the bucket of ice cream to Kaminari and Kirishima. They gladly take it and Halfie just scoots even closer to me. I hold his hand and he smiles at me. "We should do something when we get back. Would you like to go on a date with me?" He asks. Jesus why'd he ask this now? I wasn't prepared for that at all and nod. My face is definitely red.

"Uh, yeah," I say and quickly turn my head so he doesn't see my face. I can feel it heat up from embarrassment. "Okay good because I was planning some stuff for us. When do you think we should go on the date?" He asks.

He acts like this stuff is easy to talk about. It's not for me. It makes me... flustered? I guess that's the word, but it sounds girly. Like someone who has a crush on the football captain in middle school described how they felt when the football player looked at them. Ugh whatever.

"Uh, I don't know. Whenever is fine for me," I say, playing it off. Jesus Christ I can't not blush when he does stuff like that. "Kat, are you okay?" He asks, worried. I had turned my face again because my face kept heating up. "Uh, yeah." He sighs and squeezes my hand. I look over at him and he breaks into a laugh. He quickly covers his mouth and I glare at him. "Aww you're blushing," he whispers, still laughing. "Shut up you idiot. It's your fault. Agh," I complain.

He starts laughing again, but quietly since half of the people on the bus fell asleep. "Shut up," I complain. He sits up straight and bites back the laugh, but when he sees my face he starts laughing once again. I pout and look away again. This asshole. Making fun of me because I'm blushing. Ugh, stupid face, why'd you have to expose me? "Hey, come on babe. I'm sorry," he tries, amusement still clear in his voice.

He grabs my arm, trying to make me turn around and then he does the worst thing imaginable. He starts tickling me. My eyes widen and I start laughing as soon as his fingers softly dig in to my stomach. I cover my mouth instantly and try to push him away as he continues relentlessly. "Fuck off," I whisper-laugh. He continues until I take a big gasp of air from trying to laugh quietly.
